They definitely won't lose any sleep over it but still, two awards is better than one. It's the reason why Stranger Things and Better Call Saul split their last seasons in half even though the 2nd half came out a couple months later. They wanted to be eligible for the Emmys in multiple different years.

I don't think 2024 will be nearly as good. TLOU Season 2 won't be ready by then, The White Lotus with its anthology format runs the risk of not being consistently good year to year, Euphoria will probably be back but that show's reception is waning, HBO's new project The Idol is apparently a shitshow from all the rumours. HBO's 2024 nominees could just be HOTD Season 2 only.

I don't disagree though about subscriber numbers coming first. My only caveat would be that there are usually lulls in a cable network's release schedule where there isn't alot of new content for a couple months. If there isn't a whole lot ready for the 2nd half of 2023 then it's not the worst idea to move things around.

Yeah I wouldnt be surprised if that happens but it would be a damn shame to only campaign for 1 or 2 when they have so many strong contenders

It definitely means something to TV Networks like HBO which pride themselves on being the king of prestige TV.

Is their an MCU movie about how The Avengers are all entitled psychopaths who only care about their public image and murder civilians for fun? one that shits on media conglomerates like Disney and reveals it was literally founded by Nazis? is there an MCU movie that directly compares superhero obsession with the rise of fascism in America?

I'm not gonna say The Boys is even close to being the best show on TV but to act like it's just an MCU show but with blood and tits is such a superficial take that feels like you didn't watch more than a couple trailers of the show and judged it.
